That was easy!

Sometimes we like to make things that should be easy, hard. Case in point: A kid with ADHD wants to move around the class all day, constantly fidgets and acts basically like a yo-yo, spinning out of control. Hard answer for those who work with these kids: Get upset, go toe to toe with him or her every day, scream and/or pout, call the kid various names (defiant, lazy, etc). Easy answer for those who work with him: provide a simple outlet that lets him or her move without you losing your mind. 

Take, for example, this kindergarten class; click hereto see how they addressed the issue by using stability balls in place of chairs. Notice how easy it was to find a "punishment" for those who mess around with the stability balls: make the student sit in a chair!
